Electric Shock to Boil Breast Cancer

Developments in technology provide more treatment options for breast cancer. Latest selection is by electric shock in the breast, whose purpose is to boil the cancer cells to die and not grow anymore.

Electric Shock to Boil Breast Cancer

Electric shock is administered through a small needle-shaped electrode is capable of producing approximately 70-90 degrees Celsius heat. At that temperature, the cancer cells will boil and then die so do not need surgery or treated with chemotherapy.

The principle is like boiling an egg. Tumor cells are heated to death, while the surrounding healthy tissue remains secure because it is not left unharmed.

Another plus is a very short time, because of electric shock is given only for 10 minutes. Immediately after treatment, patients can immediately return to work and will not feel pain because it was given a pain reliever or local anesthesia.

Compared to surgery, a method called Preferential Radio-Frequency Ablation does not leave scars in addition to the electrode needle puncture marks. To be able to recover as usual, it takes much shorter time than after surgery.

The same method was also been applied to address the growth of cancer cells in other parts of the kidney, liver and bone. Although arguably not a new technology, but so far no one has ever applied for breast cancer.

Although claimed to be effective enough to eradicate cancer cells in breast tissue cells, but acknowledged that the electric shock method still has some limitations. To be cured by this method, the size of the cancer cells can not be longer than 2 cm and consists of a lump only.

Matter of safety, boil method of breast cancer has been tested on 80 women with breast cancer. In observation for 2 years after therapy, the patient remained in good health have not looked for signs of serious side effects.
